Emmalee started competitive dance this year and had her first competition on March 27 at The Music Hall in Kansas City. It was a bit emotional for me because my baby was dancing on the same stage as The Nutcracker is performed. How awesome is that?!?! She handled herself with such grace and style; I couldn't be more proud! She and her group took first place in both dances and received a platinum rating, which is the highest you can receive. Their teachers were very impressed that they scored so high with this being the first time that the majority of them had competed! Here are a few pics from the day.

We are excited for the next competition and for her future with Shapes Dance and Acro competitive dancers!

At 4 weeks you: *continue to grow-you may soon outgrow newborn diapers *absolutely hate to be without clothes, cold, or in bath water *still LOVE to snuggle *reach for objects (mostly Tori's hair) *are a bright eyed little guy more and more often *stop crying on a dime when you hear Emmalee's voice *still can't decide if you want to be a binky baby or not *are not a fan of tummy time *have taken to not eating very well again *make your Mommy's heart melt when you cry your "pitiful" cry *do a fabulous job riding in your car seat *coo in the softest little voice

We can't believe you are already a month old, and we are more in love with you every single day!

About Me

As the mother of the most amazing little girls I know, I started this blog as a way to document stories about the girls over the years. Emmalee loves to have us tell her stories, so I am hoping when she is older and has children who say to her, "Mommy, tell me a story," she, as well as her little sister, will be able to look to this blog for memories. It is also a way to keep family and friends across the miles updated on the lives of the girls through stories and pictures.
